 These teams are meeting for the first time in 2020, the first of 10 scheduled games over the next 27 days. Houston went 13-6 against the Rangers last year, including a perfect 9-0 at home.

 The Astros have won at least 70 percent of their September games each of the past three years. Their 60-20 (.750) record in September since 2017 is the best by any MLB team in any month over that span (April to September).

 The Rangers' 12-21 record is their worst through 33 games in a season since also being 12-21 in 2001. They've lost 12 of their last 14 games, including six in a row on the road.

 Joey Gallo is hitting .168 against the Astros going back to 2017, with 92 strikeouts in 52 games. That's the most strikeouts by an MLB player versus any opponent over that span.

 In the second game of Sunday's doubleheader sweep of the A's, George Springer recorded his first multi-hit game at home this season (in 15 home games played). He's hitting .167 (8/48) with a .623 OPS at home this year, compared to a .287 average and .932 OPS at home in 2019.

 Framber Valdez has allowed just two home runs in 38.1 innings this year, the third-best rate among AL ERA qualifiers (0.47 per 9 IP). Only the White Sox's Dallas Keuchel (0.42) and teammate Zack Greinke (0.45) rank ahead of him.

There were bound to be repercussions for the Houston Astros following an unusual stretch of postponements during a homestand that featured fits and spurts and plenty of uncertainty.
The Astros (19-15) were ragged early and sloppy late in their 6-5, 10-inning loss to the Texas Rangers on Tuesday in the opener of a three-game series that was to conclude a 10-game homestand.

Astros look to rediscover groove vs. Rangers

HOUSTON (AP)  Texas manager Chris Woodward was thrilled to get a win in Houston over the Astros on Tuesday night, even if it was a bit unconventional, after losing all nine games at Minute Maid Park in his first season in charge of the Rangers.
Elvis Andrus hit a tying solo homer in the ninth inning and the Rangers got two runs in the 10th on a balk and two errors to beat the Astros 6-5.
